Stumbled Upon - Undated Script
I came back from film school the other week and I made The Lavatory there. That movie was first on my list to complete, now its Stumbled Upon's turn. So it's been awhile since I looked at this script so I decided to touch it up:
-------------------------------------------------------- FADE IN: EXT. ROAD - EVENING We are on a paved road with a few houses scattered here and there along its length. Two hitchhikers are standing along the side of the road. (DISTANT SHOTS W/ OPENING CREDITS) (ZOOM) WES Why not? MICHAEL I'm not trudging across no goddamn field to sleep in a crack house, I mean did you see that place? WES We don't have to go inside, we can sleep out in the field MICHAEL What’s the point of even going to the house then? WES Why don’t you just stop arguing and shut the fuck up MICHAEL Excuse me? WES Just ease up, who gives a shit if it looks like a crack house. I don’t see any hotels do you? MICHAEL looks around sarcastically. WES (CONT) Well? MICHAEL Fine, we'll go to the crack house. WES Thank you (with attitude) MICHAEL (resigned) Jackass EXT. ROAD & GATE The hitchhikers jump over a gate and start towards the house. To get to the field they must cross a creek. MICHAEL Oh great now we gotta swim to the house. WES Dude, shut the hell up, your complaining is getting so annoying. It’s not even deep, and there are rocks all over the place. Just as they start to cross they hear a splash and see a boy running towards them. They jump back in surprised reactions. REDNECK BOY What are you guys doing here!? This aint your land. The boy obviously has little education and possible mental problems. WES We are just passing through, we are going to that abandoned house across the field. REDNECK BOY NO! That house aint abandoned. Don’t go there, you can’t! MICHEAL What do you mean it isn’t abandoned? Look at it. REDNECK BOY I know someone lives there, I’ve seen ‘em! WES (laughing) Yea ok you little hick, get out of the way. The two start walking towards the house, but the boy jumps on WES and starts yelling. REDNECK BOY No! You can’t go there. It’s not safe! WES shakes the boy off of him and turn toward the boy. WES Get the hell off you retard. WES smacks the boy in the face. The boy falls to the ground and holds his face and looks up at Wes. REDNECK BOY You boys done made a mistake comin’ here. The boy then gets up and runs back into the woods glancing back every now and again. WES We should watch Deliverance now (laughs) MIKE He said that house isn’t abandoned, maybe we should go back. WES Maybe you should grow a pair. We are going there, there’s nothing else about it. MIKE resigns Moments pass from a far view and return as the pair starts another conversation. MICHAEL I really don’t think this is a good idea, seriously. WES Jesus Christ, you sound like my ex MICHAEL During sex right? WES Shut up (raises hand in a back hand fashion) MICHAEL Why are you being such an ass? How about you step back and think about what we are doing. WES How about you stop whining The pair finally reach the house. WES starts to walk to the front door. MICHAEL I thought we weren't going in ? WES We're not, we're camping outside MICHAEL drops his stuff. MICHAEL Fine, we stop here WES (dropping his pack) You know this little road trip was your idea not mine MICHAEL unrolls a sleeping bag, and flops down. WES stands there looking around. MICHAEL You see that kid again? WES I heard something MICHAEL I told you man, that kid was a tard, but he knew what he was talking about. WES I can’t believe you took him seriously. MICHAEL You didn’t? WES Dude, he was like that hitchhiker brother in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, except he didn’t take my picture. MICHAEL Well maybe. He still freaked me out. WES I seriously hear a sound though (beat) I think it came from the house, you hear anything? MICHAEL No, it was probably a sausage weasel. WES looks at MICHAEL with a confused expression. MICHAEL Those little moles… WES Oh my god you are dumb. (beat) I’m going inside, you coming? MICHEAL What are you going inside for? WES I heard the sound from inside and it wasn’t a damn weasel. MICHEAL I’m not going in, forget that. WES Oh c'mon for God’s sake MICHAEL No WES Fine, you wait here and catch some sausage weasels for dinner. WES walks off whistling. MICHAEL Jerk MICHAEL opens his sleeping bag and starts searching for something in his knapsack. INT. PORCH - MOMENTS LATER WES is standing on the porch of the dilapidated house. WES Trick or treat ! Silence. WES peers in to where the front door should be. WES (to MICHAEL) Empty ! MICHAEL Yea!? So's your head! WES turns his attention back to the house. He enters and we go to ... INT. HALLWAY A very long hallways with rooms on either side. The hallway goes all the way to the backdoor. WES Jesus (to MICHAEL) Hey you should come take a look at this ! MICHAEL(OS) Like hell! WES continues walking and turns left into ... INT. KITCHEN - CONTINUOUS Red cabinets line the walls and an old stove is pulled out from the wall. WES Oh this is seriously creepy WES slowly approaches one of the cupboards and a power tool falls from it. WES jumps. WES (CONT) Jesus WES turns back towards the kitchen door and goes back out into the hall. INT. HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS WES looks up and down the hallway and hears something. WES Hello? (beat) Anybody home? WES moves forward ... INT. THE SHIRT ROOM - CONTINUOUS Some dress shirts are hanging on a line and the floor is cluttered with what appears to be fur. WES approaches the shirts and runs a finger along them. The sound again. WES turns. WES Michael?! No reply. WES moves into the hall. INT. HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS WES (and the audience) get the idea that someone or something just ducked into one of the room near the back of the house. Silence. WES looks up and down the hallway again. He moves down the hallway and turns into ... INT. BEE ROOM - CONTINUOUS There's a small cabinet in the room as well as an abundance of wasps nests, and honey combs. WES I don't like this The sound again. WES is becoming agitated. He moves back into ... INT. HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS He looks around and heads directly towards ... INT. BATHROOM - CONTINUOUS There are splatters of the blood all over the floor and room. WES Goddamn Someone walks past him down the hall. WES doesn't notice. He moves from the bathroom to ... INT. HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS He walks toward the back of the house and into… INT. BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS What appears to possibly be a bedroom. He goes to the bedroom door and peers down either end of the hallway. He sound is hear in the kitchen area. WES What the? Someone moves down the hallway behind WES. He turns. WES(CONT) Mike ? (beat) Michael you asshole this isn't funny! Quit goofin’ on me MICHAEL appears behind him. MICHAEL What's up? WES turns startled WES Jesus Christ don't sneak up on me like that MICHAEL Sounded like you were pitching a fit WES Someone's in this house MICHAEL What? WES Someone's here MICHAEL I told you! WES I saw something MICHAEL Something? WES Yes MICHAEL What was it? WES Somebody MICHAEL Ok well I didn’t see anyone from outside

...yes the lavatory means a bathroom. But when you make a film you must give it a title. Since the movie was a comedy centered around someone in a bathroom, the title was "The Lavatory". Was it that difficult to pick up? Did I need to add the quotations for you?
